The New Smackdown GM!
Vince makes his way out to the stage, and says that recently Paul Heyman had used and abused his power to help his men get to the top. Vince again let's it be known he didn't have a problem with it. But the board did, so they told him to find a new person to run Smackdown. He talks about the people he thought of, making jokes about how he thought maybe calling up Ted Turner, maybe Vince Russo, hell he even thought about Jack Tunney. But after he really thought about it, he knew the perfect person to run Smackdown was none other than....DONALD TRUMP! The crowd has no idea how to react, as Trump walks out and shakes Vince's hand as Trump let's it be known that he Make Smackdown Great Again.

Punk's Answer
Punk is then seen on the screen and talks about what happened Sunday. How he beat Joe, and then they knew he was a threat, they knew he shouldn't be so close to the Champ, because the closer you are the more you learn. But he says that's fine, now he won't feel bad when he comes for O'Haire and takes his title. As far as the challenge for tonight, he says he accepts.
